Giraph中Aggregator的基本用法请参考官方文档:http://giraph.apache.org/aggregators.html ,本文重点在解析Giraph如何实现Aggregators,后文用图示的方法描述了Aggregator的执行过程。
基本原理:在每个超级步中,每个Worker计算本地的聚集值。超级步计算完成后,把本地的聚集值发送给Master汇总。在MasterCompute()执行后,把全局的聚集值回发给所有的Workers。
缺点:当某个应用(或算法)使用了多个聚集器(Aggregators),Master要完成所有聚集器的计算。因为Master要接受、处理、发送大量的数据,无论是在计算方面还是网络通信层次,都会导致Master成为系统瓶颈。
改进:采用分片聚集 (sharded aggregators) . 在每个超级步的最后,每个聚集器被派发给一个Worker,该Worker接受和聚集其他Workers发送给该聚集器的值。然后Workers把自己的所有的聚集器发送给Master,这样Master就无需执行任何聚集,只是接收每个聚集器的最终值。在MasterCompute.compute执行后,Master不是直接把所有的聚集器发送给所有的Workers,而是发送给聚集器所属的Worker,然后每个Worker再把其上的聚集器发送给所有的Workers.
首先给出Master <-- > Worker间, Worker <--> Worker间通信协议,在每个类中的doRequest(ServerData serverData)方法中会解析并存储收到的消息。
1). org.apache.giraph.comm.requests.SendWorkerAggregatorsRequest 类 . Worker --> Worker Owner
功能:每个worker把当前超步的局部 aggregated values 发送到该Aggregator的拥有者。
2). org.apache.giraph.comm.requests.SendAggregatorsToMasterRequest 类. Worker Owner--> Master
功能:每个Worker把自己所拥有的Aggregator的最终 aggregated values 发送给 master。
3). org.apache.giraph.comm.requests.SendAggregatorsToOwnerRequest 类. Master --> Worker Owner.
功能:master把最终的 aggregated values 或aggregators 发送给该Aggregator的拥有者。
4). org.apache.giraph.comm.requests.SendAggregatorsToWorkerRequest 类。 Worker Owner--> Worker
功能: 发送最终的 aggregated values 到 其他workers。发送者为该Aggregator的拥有者,接受者为除发送者之外的所有workers。
Aggregator分类和 注册
Giraph中把Aggregator分为两类:regular aggregators和persistent aggregators。regular aggregators的值在每个超级步开始会被重置为初始值,然而persistent aggregators的值在整个应用(算法)中一直保持。举例来说,若LongSumAggregator在每个顶点的compute()方法中加1,如果使用regular aggregators,在每个超级步中就可以读取前一个超级步的参与计算的顶点总数;如果使用persistent aggregators,就可以获取前面所有超级步中参与计算的顶点总和。
在使用aggregator之前,必须要在mastes上Registering aggregators。做法:继承org.apache.giraph.master.DefaultMasterCompute类,重写 void initalize() 方法。在该方法中注册aggregators,语法如下:
registerAggregator(aggregatorName, aggregatorClass)
registerPersistentAggregator(aggregatorName, aggregatorClass)
说明:MasterCompute.initalize()方法只在第 INPUT_SUPERSTEP (-1) 超级步中执行一次,具体在 BSPServiceMaster.runMasterCompute(long superstep)方法中。在MasterCompute.compute()方法中,可以使用下述方法读取或修改聚集器的值。
getAggregatedValue(aggregatorName) //获取前一个超级步的聚集器值
setAggregatedValue(aggregatorName, aggregatedValue) //修改聚集器的值
MasterCompute.compute()总是在Vertex.compute()前执行。 由于第 INPUT_SUPERSTEP ( -1)个超级步进行的是数据的加载和重分布过程,不计算Vertex.compute()。第0个超级步Vertex.compute()又是在MasterCompute.compute()方法后执行。故对第 -1 、 0个超级步MasterCompute.compute()方法中获得的聚集器值均为其初始值。从第1个超级步开始,MasterCompute.compute()方法才获得了所有Vertex.compute()在第0个超级步聚集的值。
1. 从第0个超级步开始,BspServiceMaster调用MasterAggregatorHandler类的finishSuperStep(MasterClient masterClient) 方法把聚集器派发给Worker,聚集器的value为上一个超级步的全局聚集值(final aggregated values),第一次为初始值。先给出MasterAggregatorHandler的类继承关系,如下:
finishSuperStep(MasterClient masterClient) 方法核心内容如下:
/** * Finalize aggregators for current superstep and share them with workers */ public void finishSuperstep(MasterClient masterClient) { for (AggregatorWrapper<Writable> aggregator : aggregatorMap.values()) { if (aggregator.isChanged()) { // if master compute changed the value, use the one he chose aggregator.setPreviousAggregatedValue( aggregator.getCurrentAggregatedValue()); // reset aggregator for the next superstep aggregator.resetCurrentAggregator(); } } /** * 把聚集器发送给所属的Worker。发送内容: * 1). Name of the aggregator * 2). Class of the aggregator * 3). Value of the aggretator */ try { for (Map.Entry<String, AggregatorWrapper<Writable>> entry : aggregatorMap.entrySet()) { masterClient.sendAggregator(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue().getAggregatorClass(), entry.getValue().getPreviousAggregatedValue()); } masterClient.finishSendingAggregatedValues(); } catch (IOException e) { throw new IllegalStateException("finishSuperstep: " + "IOException occurred while sending aggregators", e); } }问题1:如何确定aggregator的Worker Owner ?
/** * 根据aggregatorName和所有的workers列表来计算aggregator所属的Worker * 参数aggregatorName:Name of the aggregator * 参数workers: Workers的list列表 * 返回值:Worker which owns the aggregator */ public static WorkerInfo getOwner(String aggregatorName,List<WorkerInfo> workers) { //用aggregatorName的HashCode()值模以 Workers的总数目 int index = Math.abs(aggregatorName.hashCode() % workers.size()); return workers.get(index); //返回aggregator所属的Worker }问题2:Worker 如何判断自身是否接收完自己所拥有的aggregators?
2. Worker接受Master发送的Aggregator,Worker把接收到的聚集体值发送给其他所有Workers,然后每个Workers就会得到上一个超级步的全局聚集值。
由前文知道,每个Worker都有一个ServerData对象,ServerData类中关于Aggregator的两个成员变量如下:
// 保存Worker在当前超步拥有的aggregators private final OwnerAggregatorServerData ownerAggregator; // 保存前一个超步的aggregators private final AllAggregatorServerData allAggregatorData;可以看到,ownerAggregatorData用来存储在当前超步Master发送给Worker的聚集器,allAggregatorData用来保存上一个超级步全局的聚集值。ownerAggregatorData和allAggregatorData值的初始化在SendAggregatorsToOwnerRequest 类中的doRequest(ServerData serverData)方法中,如下:
public void doRequest(ServerData serverData) { DataInput input = getDataInput(); AllAggregatorServerData aggregatorData = serverData.getAllAggregatorData(); try { //收到的Aggregators数目。在CountingOutputStream类中有计数器counter, //每向输出流中添加一个聚集器对象,计数加1. 发送时,在flush方法中把该值插入到输出流最前面。 int numAggregators = input.readInt(); for (int i = 0; i < numAggregators; i++) { String aggregatorName = input.readUTF(); String aggregatorClassName = input.readUTF(); if (aggregatorName.equals(AggregatorUtils.SPECIAL_COUNT_AGGREGATOR)) { LongWritable count = new LongWritable(0); //Master发送给该Worker的requests总数目. count.readFields(input); aggregatorData.receivedRequestCountFromMaster(count.get(), getSenderTaskId()); } else { Class<Aggregator<Writable>> aggregatorClass = AggregatorUtils.getAggregatorClass(aggregatorClassName); aggregatorData.registerAggregatorClass(aggregatorName, aggregatorClass); Writable aggregatorValue = aggregatorData.createAggregatorInitialValue(aggregatorName); aggregatorValue.readFields(input); //把收到的上一次全局聚集的值赋值给allAggregatorData aggregatorData.setAggregatorValue(aggregatorName, aggregatorValue); //ownerAggregatorData只接受聚集器 serverData.getOwnerAggregatorData().registerAggregator( aggregatorName, aggregatorClass); } } } catch (IOException e) { throw new IllegalStateException("doRequest: " + "IOException occurred while processing request", e); } //接受一个 request,计数减1,同时把收到的Data添加到allAggregatorServerData的List<byte[]> masterData中 aggregatorData.receivedRequestFromMaster(getData()); }
每个Worker在开始计算前,会调用BspServiceWorker类的prepareSuperStep()方法来进行聚集器值的派发和接受其他Workers发送的聚集器值。调用关系如下:
BspServiceWorker类的prepareSuperStep()方法如下:
@Override public void prepareSuperstep() { if (getSuperstep() != INPUT_SUPERSTEP) { /* * aggregatorHandler为WorkerAggregatorHandler类型, * 可参考上文中MasterAggregatorHandler的类继承关系. * workerAggregatorRequestProcessor声明为WorkerAggregatorRequestProcessor(接口) * 类型,实际为NettyWorkerAggregatorRequestProcessor的实例, * 用于Worker间发送聚集器的值。 */ aggregatorHandler.prepareSuperstep(workerAggregatorRequestProcessor); } }
public void prepareSuperstep(WorkerAggregatorRequestProcessor requestProcessor) { AllAggregatorServerData allAggregatorData = serviceWorker.getServerData().getAllAggregatorData(); /** * 等待直到Master发送给该Worker的聚集器都已接受完, * 返回值为Master发送给该Worker的所有Data(聚集器) */ Iterable<byte[]> dataToDistribute = allAggregatorData.getDataFromMasterWhenReady( serviceWorker.getMasterInfo()); // 把从Master收到的Data(聚集器)发送给其他所有Workers requestProcessor.distributeAggregators(dataToDistribute); // 等待直到接受完其他Workers发送给该Workers的聚集器 allAggregatorData.fillNextSuperstepMapsWhenReady( getOtherWorkerIdsSet(), previousAggregatedValueMap, currentAggregatorMap); // 只是清空allAggregatorServerData的List<byte[]> masterData对象 // 为下一个超级步接受Master发送的聚集器做准备 allAggregatorData.reset(); }下面详述Worker如何判定已接收完所有Master发送的所有Request ? 主要目的在于描述分布式环境下线程间如何协作。在AllAggregatorServerData类中定义了TaskIdsPermitBarrier类型的变量masterBarrier,用来判断是否接收完Master发送的Request. TaskIdsPermitBarrier类中主要使用wait()、notifyAll()等方法来控制,当获得的aggregatorName等于AggregatorUtils.SPECIAL_COUNT_AGGREGATOR时,会调用requirePermits(long permits,int taskId)来增加接收的arrivedTaskIds和需要等待的request数目waitingOnPermits. 接受一个Request
/** * Require more permits. This will increase the number of times permits * were required. Doesn't wait for permits to become available. * * @param permits Number of permits to require * @param taskId Task id which required permits */ public synchronized void requirePermits(long permits, int taskId) { arrivedTaskIds.add(taskId); waitingOnPermits += permits; notifyAll(); }
/** * Send aggregators to their owners and in the end to the master * * @param requestProcessor Request processor for aggregators */ public void finishSuperstep( WorkerAggregatorRequestProcessor requestProcessor) { OwnerAggregatorServerData ownerAggregatorData = serviceWorker.getServerData().getOwnerAggregatorData(); // First send partial aggregated values to their owners and determine // which aggregators belong to this worker for (Map.Entry<String, Aggregator<Writable>> entry : currentAggregatorMap.entrySet()) { boolean sent = requestProcessor.sendAggregatedValue(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue().getAggregatedValue()); if (!sent) { // If it's my aggregator, add it directly ownerAggregatorData.aggregate(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue().getAggregatedValue()); } } // Flush requestProcessor.flush(); // Wait to receive partial aggregated values from all other workers Iterable<Map.Entry<String, Writable>> myAggregators = ownerAggregatorData.getMyAggregatorValuesWhenReady( getOtherWorkerIdsSet()); // Send final aggregated values to master AggregatedValueOutputStream aggregatorOutput = new AggregatedValueOutputStream(); for (Map.Entry<String, Writable> entry : myAggregators) { int currentSize = aggregatorOutput.addAggregator(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue()); if (currentSize > maxBytesPerAggregatorRequest) { requestProcessor.sendAggregatedValuesToMaster( aggregatorOutput.flush()); } } requestProcessor.sendAggregatedValuesToMaster(aggregatorOutput.flush()); // Wait for master to receive aggregated values before proceeding serviceWorker.getWorkerClient().waitAllRequests(); ownerAggregatorData.reset(); }调用关系如下:
4. 大同步后,Master调用MasterAggregatorHandler类的prepareSusperStep(masterClient)方法,收集聚集器的值。方法内容如下:
public void prepareSuperstep(MasterClient masterClient) { // 收集上次超级步的聚集值,为master compute 做准备 for (AggregatorWrapper<Writable> aggregator : aggregatorMap.values()) { // 如果是 Persistent Aggregator,则累加 if (aggregator.isPersistent()) { aggregator.aggregateCurrent(aggregator.getPreviousAggregatedValue()); } aggregator.setPreviousAggregatedValue( aggregator.getCurrentAggregatedValue()); aggregator.resetCurrentAggregator(); progressable.progress(); } }然后调用MasterCompute.compute()方法(可能会修改聚集器的值),在该方法内若根据聚集器的值调用了MasterCompute类的haltCompute()方法来终止MaterCompute,则表明要结束整个Job。那么Master就会通知所有Workers要结束整个作业;在该方法内若没有调用MasterCompute类的haltCompute()方法,则回到步骤1继续进行迭代。
说明:Job迭代结束条件有三,满足其一就行:
1) 达到最大迭代次数
2) 没有活跃顶点且没有消息在传递
3) 终止MasterCompute计算
总结:为解决在多个Aggregator条件下,Master成为系统瓶颈的问题。采取了把所有Aggregator派发给某一部分Workers,由这些Workers完成全局的聚集值的计算与发送,Master只需要与这些Workers进行简单数据通信即可,大大降低了Master的工作量。
附加:下面用图示方法说明上述执行过程。
实验条件:
1). 一个Master,四个Worker
2). 两个Aggregators,记为A1和A2。
1. Master把Aggregators发送给Workers,收到Aggregator的Worker就作为该Aggregator的Owner。下图中Master把A1发送给Worker1,A2发送给Worker3.那么Worker1就作为A1的Owner,Worker3就是A2的Owner。该步骤在MasterAggregatorHandler类的finishSuperStep(MasterClient masterClient) 方法中完成,使用的是SendAggregatorsToOwnerRequest 通信协议。注:每个Owner Worker 可能有多个聚集器。
图1 Master分发Aggregator
2. Workers接受Master发送的Aggregator,然后把Aggregator发送给其他Workers。Worker1要把A1分别发送给Worker2、Worker3和Worker4;Worker3要把A2分别发送给Worker1、Worker2和Worker4。该步骤在WorkerAggregatorHandler类的prepareSuperstep( WorkerAggregatorRequestProcessor requestProcessor)方法中完成,使用的是SendAggregatorsToMasterRequest 通信协议。此步骤完成后,每个Worker上都有了聚集器A1和A2(具体为上一个超步的全局最终聚集值)。
3. 每个Worker调用Vertex.compute()方法开始计算,收集本地的Aggregator聚集值。对聚集体A1来说,Worker1、Worker2、Worker3、Worker4的本地聚集值依次记为:A11 、A12、 A13、A14;对聚集器A2来说,Worker1、Worker2、Worker3、Worker4的本地聚集值依次记为:A21 、A22、 A23、A24。计算完成后,每个Worker就要把本地的聚集值发送给聚集器的Owner,聚集器的Owner在接收的时候会合并聚集。那么A11 、A12、 A13、A14要发送给Worker1进行全局聚集得到A1’,A21 、A22、 A23、A24要发送给Worker3进行全局聚集得到A2’。计算公式如下:
此部分采用的是SendWorkerAggregatorsRequest通信协议。Worker1和Worker3要把汇总的A1和A2的新值:A1’ 和A2’发送给Master,供下一次超级步的MasterCompute.compute()方法使用采用的是SendAggregatorsToMasterRequest通信协议。此部分在WorkerAggregatorHandler类的finishSuperstep( WorkerAggregatorRequestProcessor requestProcessor)方法中完成。过程如下图所示:
4. Master收到Worker1发送的A1’ 和Woker3发送的A2’后,此步骤在MasterAggregatorHandler类的prepareSusperStep(masterClient)方法中完成。然后调用MasterCompute.compute()方法,此方法可能会修改聚集器的值,如得到A1’’和A2’’。在masterCompute.compute()方法内若根据聚集器的值调用了MasterCompute类的haltCompute()方法来终止MaterCompute,则表明要结束整个Job。那么Master就会通知所有Workers要结束整个作业;在该方法内若没有调用MasterCompute类的haltCompute()方法,则回到步骤1继续进行迭代,继续把A1’’发送给Worker1,A2’’发送给Worker3。
完!
